What keeps me busy?

Taking a break from talking about my life during this pandemic and discuss about what keeps me busy these past few days or weeks. 

Most of you know by now that I have my own business and a Youtube channel. I haven't posted anything in my channel for more than 2 weeks now. I did cooked one dish last week but I haven't edited it yet. I'll be uploading it on January and I'm planning to cook a lot of dishes this Holiday season so I have some back up videos for next year. But the thing is I still don't know what we will be having for Christmas and New Year's eve. Do you have any easy to cook dishes you might want to suggest? 

Also these past few days after I finished making the orders for my crunchy chili garlic in oil business, I made a special dessert for my cousin's wife. She gave me a budget and I consulted my friend on what dessert I should make. The leche flan, a caramel custard or sort of like creme brulee was my idea. And my friend suggested me to add some toppings. I still don't know what to name it but I was thinking of "carebears" because that is what we call each other. For we are both like bears that are soft and cuddly. LOL.

Aside from my business and Youtube channel, I still manage to publish at least one article per day here on read.cash. I create my article during our Netflix time with my parents every night and I am thankful that I always get to publish it just before 12 midnight. 

Other than those 3 that I mentioned, I still have other money earning applications that I need to pay some attention once or twice a day. Let's not forget my Shopee (online shopping platform) that I also need to check because they of the daily log in reward and games which you can play and earn some coins. The coins are also equivalent to the value of money that can be used when ordering from the said platform. 

Going back to the money earning applications, I know a lot of us have also a couple or more of it installed in our smartphones. So what are those platforms that you have? 

I immediately organized all my money earning applications after typing that question. As for me, I have a lot and I have already deleted some a long time ago. Are we allowed to put referral links in our article? I'll edit this once I know that it is ok to do so. Here are the lists that is currently installed on my phone: 

• Sweatcoin – it pays you for every walk that you made. I don't know where I found out about this but I have installed it 3 years ago. It has to be running in the background for it to collect your steps plus it only counts the steps that are done outside. Sadly, I haven't receive anything yet from this app. LOL. I guess I have to start moving next year if I want to earn from thise. As far as I know, you need to acquire those steps in a year. You get to earn 5 sweatcoins per friend who uses your referral link. I just checked it now after years of not doing so and they have a lot of offers compared before. But I prefer the offers then because they have $1000. Has anyone tried Sweatcoins? How was it? Where you able to redeem from this app? 

• Kumu – I think this is only available in the Philippines but Kumu is a platform where you can do livestreams, play games and participate in their daily, weekly and/or monthly promotions for you to earn money. You can also chat and meet with other people here. Actually before this app, I first downloaded Paydro; which is a live online game show every 12 noon from Monday to Friday. It was a very informative and entertaining platform. They would ask 10 questions and you have to answer all correctly. I only won Php15 and I couldn't withdraw it because it was below the minimum payout of Php500 (I think). Sadly Paydro died  mid of 2017 I think. I don't know the reason why and I thought they were really doing good. They even added some exciting prizes like sacks of rice, cellphones (iPhone) even condominium. Before they ended, I was already playing Kumu but I can't help but to compare it with Paydro. Personally I liked Paydro because of the lively handsome and beautiful hosts compared to Kumu whose hosts were some ordinary people. But with the level of questions, I prefer Kumu because it wasn't that hard compared to Paydro where you really need to review minutes or hours before the show. Paydro informs their users through Twitter about the topic of the quiz. After Paydro ended, I focused more on Kumu and guess what? I already have Php300 there though the minimum payout again is Php500. LOL. It was all because of their games. You can also earn when you do livestreaming only if the other users will send you gifts eelctronically. I just don't know the conversion of those gifts into Philippine peso because no one has given me a anything yet. LOL. I already did 2 live streamings without showing my face of course. LOL. One was last 2018 where I streamed the zumba that I attended and the other one was few months ago when I cooked kimchi jjiggae. I told myself that I would practice boosting my confidence level through this app by showing my face but still I couldn't because now there are a lot of Filipino celebrities who are also active in Kumu. Let me know if you have tried Kumu and if you have already cashed out. 

• Kiki – I have already mentioned this before. It is like read.cash where you get paid for your thoughts, your words, your opinions and stuffs. It shut down during the second quarter of this year. I only received $20 from them but I was already happy with that. After the many money earning applications that I have tried, I already got my first earning. Thanks to Kiki, I met friends there who introduced me to read.cash. I also met my supplier for my sticker labels for my business. I may have only received $20 but having the chance to meet people like @bbghitte, @bmjc98, @Judith1969, @Alexis12, @PatrickAga and many other Kikiers is already a blessing for me. 

• Lyka – my closest friend introduced me to this although this is only available for the Philippines. It is like Instagram but the only difference is that it compensates you everytime you post and rate other users. Cool right? There are also some users who are generous to give gems (gift card in electronic mode). You just have to follow their mechanics. 1 GEM is equivalent to 1 Peso. There are now a lot of merchants that accepts Lyka GEMs now compared to when I first started here. Before there were really a few users and very few celebrities. I was surprised when I opened it on the last week of November and saw a lot of them. I guess if I had continued posting and rating before, I would have had a lot of GEMs by now. There is a catch in posting and rating because there is a daily limit. I guess I'll try to make an article about this next time as I have been more focused to this platform these past few days. 

• Clipclaps – a platform that lets you earn just by watching videos. I am still below the payout so I can tell you whether or not this is a legit application. They say you get $0.2 for every invite. Not sure if this was true because one Kiki friend used my link but I didn't receive any $0.2. Click here if you want to try it.

• Tsū – before Kiki shut down, almost all Kikiers transferred to Tsū. I remember there were also some Kikiers who promoted the app in Kiki. During that time I didn't install it yet because I was planning to focus on Lyka because I wasn't able to do it  before as I was more into Kiki. Alexis was very persistent so I gave it a try. It is also like other social media platforms but it pays you for your photos or videos. I wasn't that active on Tsū because I didn't like its interface. Plus the earnings was really slow for me. I am still at $1. LOL. I have posted more than 20 photos I think and made a lot of likes, comments and share yet still so little. And then they added the "support me" button. It kind of helped but not that much. My exact earning there was $1.4887 and minimum payout I think is $10. I don't know how long it will take me to reach that threshold but I don't have the time to like, comment, share and support on other users. If you have a lot of active referrals, then I think it will make it easier for your earnings to grow a little faster. Correct me if I am wrong but I think it was 10% of the earnings of your referral. Click here if you want to try it.

• Project Bluefire – no referral links, just a clean social media platform with genuine people. A much better platform than Tsū. 

• Milio – I just downloaded it last week but I really don't know how to earn in this app. LOL. Again it is like any other social media platforms but the difference is it pays, I guess. LOL. You earn Milio points for posting, liking, commenting and sharing others' posts. There is no FAQs on the app so I really don't anything about this platform. I only wanted to promote my Youtube channel on this app. LOL. So if you have any details about this app, let me know. My referral code is milio47747T.

• Stormgain – an application where you can mine bitcoins. Bbghitte and bmjc98 have mentioned about this so I did gave it a try. I'm still mining and haven't tried trading yet. I'll try it if I already have some money from mining. I know they also have a refer a friend program. Click here if you want to mine some bitcoins.

There you have it. Those are just some of the platforms that I have on my phone. But there are a lot that I have already uninstalled in the past because I think that they aren't legit. I still don't know how to manage my time with all of these apps as I also need to do other things. It's really hard to earn some money but at least I can say that I am more productive now than last year. Care to share what money earning applications you have?
